The sudden postponement was like a basin of cold water pouring on the warm-up body, making the officials who were full of expectations of the court meeting feel bored. After asking the reason, I realized that the Queen Mother Fu was slightly ill and could not control the government, so the postponement was postponed.

In the afternoon, news came from the palace that Empress Dowager Fu was infected with wind and cold, and her body had not recovered after taking the medicine and needed rest, so the court meeting was postponed again.

Feeling a strange atmosphere, Xu Jing, Qin Yi, Xu Miao and others visited Sikong Mansion together.

"Brother Kong Cai, do you see if there is any fraud?" Xu Jing said to Liu Zhuo with a deep thought, "Why is the Empress Dowager sick at this important time?"

"I have sent someone to inquire about Fu Zichang (Feng Changqing Fu De), and the Empress Dowager should be really sick." Liu Zhu said dismissively, "And even if he is sick, at most he is just a slowdown, and there is no need to worry about it."

"What Lord Sikong said!" Dazai Ling Xu Miao agreed, "With solar eclipse, the matter of reform is imperative, and no one can do anything."

"You might as well make this a little bigger and encourage the officials of various prefectures and counties to write a letter to request a restructuring!" Qin Yi, the Zhongsan doctor, turned his eyes and suggested, "At that time, even if Liu Xuande's arms are in the sky, it will be difficult to stop everyone from coming."

"It's a solution!" After thinking for a while, Xu Jing nodded and said, "Try to say, the two system of meritorious people will be harmful to all the aristocratic families. I think there are many people who have resentment.

You can first contact the nearby four counties of Shouchun, Danyang, Guangling and Zhangling. If you need it, contact other prefectures and counties!"

"Yeah!" Liu Zhu nodded in contemplation.

"Then I'll make arrangements now!" Xu Jing immediately stood up, bowed his hand, and left. Xu Jing and his companion Xu Shao were famous all over the world in their early years. In Jing and Yangzhou, they also had a wide range of friends, so it is naturally the most appropriate for him to arrange this matter.

…………

An hour later, Xu Miao and others were about to say goodbye to Liu Zhu and leave, but they saw Xu Jing return happily.

"Wenxiu is happy?" Liu Zhu asked in surprise.

"I just heard the news - Yan and Henan provinces also had rumors, saying that the sun eclipse had fallen because the court ruled against the sky and caused the heavens to be angry." Xu Jing said excitedly, "This news can help us with one arm. A big thing can be accomplished.

Big things can be accomplished!”

Obviously, the more wider the news spreads, the greater the pressure it causes, and the more likely it is to force the court to agree to the reform.

Just as the rest of the people showed joy, Liu Zhu's face changed slightly: "Wen Shu, this is not a gospel, it is not a blessing!"

"Why is this?" Xu Jing said in shock.

"The rumors in Yan and Henan provinces are very likely planned by Cao Cao. And they are so similar to the matter of writing to me. If something goes wrong, it is likely that people will think they are in contact with Cao Cao!" Liu Zhu frowned and said to break it.

Suddenly thinking of something, Liu Zhuan asked Xu Jing urgently: "Wenxiu, have you contacted Shouchun and several councils from Danyang County sent out?"

Xu Jing nodded.

"Come back the messenger quickly. It is not advisable to contact other counties again at this time. Otherwise, it will be easier to be confirmed by others!" Liu Zhu ordered anxiously.

Xu Jing turned joy into sorrow, thought for a while, and immediately stood up and left.

Looking at Xu Jing's distant back, Liu Zhu frowned. A feeling of uneasiness rose in his heart for some reason.

.

"What? The city gate is closed?" Liu Zhu said in shock, "How can the city gate be closed before the You hour arrives?"

The city gate suddenly closed, and Xu Jing's attempt to return the messenger was naturally lost.

"It is reported that Lu Zijing's family was stolen and important things were lost. In order to prevent the thieves from escaping, the city gate captain closed the city gate one hour in advance to help capture!" Xu Jing replied helplessly, "Brother Kong Cai, don't worry, this matter is just a chance!"

"I hope so!" Liu Zhu said in a slightly heavier tone.

……………………………………………………………

The next day, the yellow gate was sent to the meeting and the court resumed.

When Liu Zhu, Xu Jing, Qin Yi and others arrived outside the palace gate in a carriage, dozens of officials were waiting here, including Situ Lu Yu.

Perhaps because they did not want to get involved in the Korean struggle, many officials did not seem as enthusiastic to Liu Zhu and others who advocated the reform as before. They just gave a little greeting and hid themselves aside.

Xu Jing seemed to understand what these people thought and sneered in his heart. He then stepped forward to greet Lu Yu. He took the opportunity of greetings to vaguely re-record what he asked for during the visit the night before.

After Lu Yu nodded with a smile, he returned to Liu Zhu and others with satisfaction.

The sky was covered with thick clouds, as low as if it was about to press onto the ground. The bare trees outside the palace walls were swaying in the north wind, making a crying sound.

At this time, several more carriages drove over. Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others got out one after another and walked towards the palace gate.

"I have met Liu Sikong, Xu Zongzheng! I have met Lie Gong!" Zhuge Liang politely stepped forward to greet Liu Zhu, Xu Jing and others with a warm smile as warm as the spring month.

"I have met Lord Zhuge!" Liu Zhu, Xu Jing and others bowed their hands to return the gift.

Avoiding Zhuge Liang's sight, Liu Zhu also bowed slightly to Xu Shu and Pang Tong. For some reason, when facing the gentle and harmless Zhuge Liang, Liu Zhu always felt that he was completely seen through.

Especially after the dispute between the court, this feeling became stronger, even though Zhuge Liang did not participate in the dispute between the court.

.

After discussing other major issues in the court, the theme of the court meeting returned to the recent disputes in the reform.

Xu Jing, Qin Yi and others submitted a letter one after another, requesting to change the "try-examination" system, "meeting people" system, and restore the ancestor system to calm the anger of heaven.

Unexpectedly, Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Sun Qian and others did not refute, and seemed to have chosen to compromise under pressure from both the government and the outside world.

Lu Yu, who agreed to cooperate in advance, did not say anything. However, this seemed to be irrelevant.

Just when Xu Jing was content with his complacent, Zhang Zhao, the court official who had been watching the wall for many days, suddenly broke his silence and impeached the former Grand Historian Zhang Jin to deceive the king and do not do anything. He was in trouble with the country in the name of destiny.

The turmoil in the court suddenly started, and there was a lot of discussion.

Most court officials just felt strange and didn't know why Zhang Zhao made this report——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

However, everyone knows that Zhang Zhao has always been rigorous and never aimlessly.

Liu Zhu and Xu Jing looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's heart.

Facts have proved that Zhang Zhao was indeed aimless, and a shocking "conspiracy" gradually appeared in front of his ministers - former Grand Historian Zhang Jin had predicted that a "solar eclipse" would happen two days ago.

Moreover, not only that, Wang Feng, the former Taishi Cheng (the main assistant official of the Taishi Lingdi), who was also implicated and dismissed from office, also predicted that a "solar eclipse" might occur. He also reminded Zhang Jin.

When it was completely predicted in advance, Zhang Jin deliberately hid it without reporting, which made the court miss the opportunity to "cultivate the ritual".

After verification by the Tingwei Mansion, the "solar eclipse" prediction record that had not been destroyed was found in Zhang Jin's mansion. At the same time, Wang Feng, the former Taishi Cheng of the repatriated hometown, was also found. Similar records were obtained from him.

The evidence of humans and physical evidence is the same, and nothing can be refuted in the face of solid evidence.

Immediately, Zhang Zhao asked Empress Dowager Fu and General to interrogate Zhang Jin during the dynasty to investigate the hiding incident of the "Sun Eclipse".

At this moment, Liu Zhu, Xu Jing and others could no longer remain calm.

"Zhang Jin deceived the king and the country, and his crimes were not forgiven. He would punish his nine clans to calm the anger of heaven and people!" Qin Yi, the chief doctor of Zhongsan, could not hold back at first.

When Qin Yi spoke, Liu Zhu and Xu Jing almost vomited and bleeding. In this case, saying such words clearly means not asking for advice and admitting that he is related to this matter.

"Hahaha... What a 'killer and nine clans'!" A sad and indignant voice suddenly sounded outside the hall.

Qin Yi turned his head in disbelief and looked at the place where the sound came. Liu Zhu, Xu Jing and others looked even more pale.

Under the escort of two Yulin Guards, Zhang Jin, the former Grand Historian of the plain clothes and robe, walked into the hall in a serene manner.

After kneeling on his knees and kowtowed to the emperor, Zhang Jin, with a pale face, looked up and glared at Qin Yi not far away: "Zhang Jin will be punished for his crimes. But everyone in the world can say the words "kill the nine clans". But you, Qin Yi, can't say it."

Qin Yi trembled all over. He didn't dare to look at Zhang Jin.

"The criminals beg to report to Sikong Liu Zhu, Zong Zhengqing Xu Jing, and Zhongsan doctor Qin Yi used the name of "Sun Eclipse" to fight for power..." Zhang Jinchang leaned on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Zhang Jin was killed by the deaths and randomly framed important officials in the court, and his intentions were to be punished!" Xu Jing hurriedly defended.

At this point, even if the ministers in the court were stupid, they would almost guess the matter.

All the battles are for power!

Some officials who were accompanied by the reform have already realized that they have become a tool for power struggle, and their eyes are a little bad when they see Liu Zhu, Xu Jing and others.

"I have a letter to report!" The former general Liu Pan stepped out of his stance and reported after saying, "Last evening, while the Northern Army was patrolling, he captured several people with abnormal behavior and found several secret letters.

He was preparing to send him to Shouchun, Danyang, Guangling and Zhangling counties to encourage the county magistrates and local gentry to cause trouble.

Seeing the silk books that Liu Pan took out, Xu Jing almost collapsed. Liu Zhu's face turned pale and knew that his actions had completely fallen into other people's calculations.

After reading the texts of the same textbooks, General Liu Bei just looked at Liu Zhu and Xu Jing, and said nothing.

The silk books were quickly circulated by other court officials, and many people immediately recognized that they were written by Xu Jing. Xu Jing was originally a famous scholar in the Qingliu period, and had letters with many court officials before and after entering the court. He was very familiar with his handwriting and running script methods.

The celebrity and romantic Xu Jing had no favor, and his whole body was trembling and could hardly stand. Qin Yi fell to the ground and bowed his head to apologize.

.

Looking at the farces in the court, I shook my head slightly, and had lost the interest in continuing to watch. A group of powerless people who were determined but had no courage started to bite each other before the Tingwei Mansion could interrogate.

As one of the leaders, Xu Jing even began to beg for mercy from his elder brother, hoping to get forgiveness.

When it comes to court disputes, Xu Jing and others probably don’t even have 10% of Zhuge Liang’s ability. Zhuge Liang’s response was only halfway through, and he had already forced the ghosts and monsters to reveal their true colors.

At this time, Liu Zhu was still struggling to make a sudden attack and shouted at his elder brother to control the government and wanted to usurpate the government, even Cao Cao was not as good as Cao Cao.

It actually fell into Zhuge Liang's plan again. I looked at Liu Zhu with a little pity.
